The Star mentioned that MAS was going to allow calls from mobile phones inflight. It is not meant to be funny, although I think the conversations here are realistic, because maybe someone may blog something like this.
I was on the maiden Cellular Device Allowed flight (C-Deval flight). Unfortunately, I overheard all these ...
Bossy type Voice: "James? How's the preparation coming along?" [ Pause ] "I am on the way" [ Pause ] "Just get it done by the time I arrive." [ Pause ] "Dont give me excuses, make sure it is ready." [ Pause ] "hold on"
Stewardess: "Hi Sir, would you like grilled fish with rice or chicken chop with spaghetti"
Bossy Type: "Chicken please, thanks" [ Pause ] "dont waste my time [ Pause ] just get the damn thing ready, i dont have all day."
Stewardess: "How about you ma'am?" [ Pause ] "Fish"
Auntie voice: "Hello, Ah Lian? eh guess where I am?" [ Pause ] "Hey, I am calling from the air, somewhere between KL and HongKong" [ Pause ] "Yah, flying to hongkong now" [ Pause ] "no no, not in HongKong yet, still flying" [ Pause ] "no, no no, left KL already lah, flying" [ Pause ] "Can, now can, new one allow" [ Pause ] "no catch lah, so many other also calling wat!"

[ Pause ] "fish and chicken only ah? no other choice? ok lah, ok lah, i take chicken" [ Pause ] "ah boy, you at home so lucky, sam gu have to eat either chicken or fish, no choice one".
Overly sweet croonie voice: "Hi sweetie" [ Pause ] ."yeah, kind of cool yeah?" [ Pause ] "except that it's quite noisy in here" [ Pause ] "yes, very little privacy, I can hear everyone else's conversation" [ Pause ] "heeehee, you think so?" [ Pause ] . "ok, ok, I'll try calling from the toilet later" [ Pause ] . "smooch smooch too" [ Pause ] .
Stewardess: "Hi Sir, would you like fish or chicken?" "Chicken" "Hi Ma'am, would you like fish or chicken?" "Fish", "Fish or Chicken for you sir?" "Grill Fish with rice or Chicken chop with Spaghetti", "Chicken", "Here you go sir". Beep, beep
Rough Voice: "Excuse me miss" [ Pause ] "Miss" [ Pause ] "Miss, cuse me!" [ Pause ] "you have charger ah? for Nokia?" [ Pause ] Stewardess: "Sorry sir, we do not provide chargers" [ Pause ] Rough Voice: "Aiyoh, like that how? I got low bat liao" [ Pause ] "excuse me miss" [ Pause ] "miss!" [ Pause ] "can lend your phone? urgent call leh, I pay you back" [ Pause ] Soft voice: "sorry sir, we dont have phones" [ Pause ] "Aiyah, dont lend say dont lend lor, why lie like that, dont have phone, you think I dumb or what?" [ Pause ] "what lah, say can call, but no charger, lousy service lah" [ Pause ] "chicken lah, the fish always have fishy smell one" [ Pause ]
Stewardess: "Hi Sir, would you like fish or chicken?" "Grill Fish with rice or Chicken chop with Spaghetti" "Fish" "How about you ma'am?" [ Pause ]
Male Accented Voice: "Mr Smith, hold on for a second, I'll put you on speaker phone for the con call" [ Pause ] "Mr Smith, can you hear me?"
Western Accent:"Yes, loud and clear" "Hi Mr Smith, I am Brendan" "Hi Brenden" [ Pause ] "Morning Mr Smith, this is Joanne" "Hi Joanne", "Hello Mr Smith, Belinda here"
Manly voice: "Miss, Miss" [ Pause ] "How come I got no signal?"
Lady Voice: "Miss, is it cheaper to call from here or call 30 minutes later when nearer?"
Western Accent: "Hi Belinda and all. Just wanted to update all of you. We have a situation here, we found some critical issues regarding our current release of the software and hardware for the device, and apparently, the device may cause some interference with the sexual performance of lab mice when " [interupted] "Hold on Mr Smith, let me take you off the speaker phone" [ Pause ] .
Male Accented Voice: "Hi Mr Smith, can we talk after we land, this is a matter of grave concern, bye."
And these are merely from rows 19 -23. I sitting in row 21 could only evesdrop that much.
No time to waste, have to make a few calls of my own and send in this first article from the air.
